Description
It is immediately charming, in the very fine aromas of underbrush and cherry, sweet in their way, that is to say, with a sweetness that is not flashy or superficial, but rather naturally and inevitably linked to the stylistic features of a hot vintage, and which allows the wine to present itself gracefully while implying power and depth. But, despite the 14 and a half degrees in alcohol, it is not the alcohol that you will feel when drinking it. On the contrary, the taste is fresh and taut, perhaps without the complexity of the best vintages, but without even a drop in savouriness and closed by good tannin: robust, although we are still talking about Barolo, without edges, without dryness, silky. More than eight years have passed since the harvest, and here we find a wine in total ageing momentum, certainly worth drinking, in perfect balance, and who knows for how many more years.
